- The statement CATV coaxial cables or cables with foil/drain shields do not have good shielding, because of transfer impedance and high resistance, was made a while ago here on this reflector. I think

- Very good, Tom. I still wonder what the answer is to my earlier question (in late June) about a flooded quad-shield coax with a corroded inner shield. I suspect with a bonded foil inner shield, not m

- I suspect the corroded foil would have little measurable effect on the coax's shielding effectiveness for lower frequencies. The foil is primarily there for the higher frequencies, the braid for the

- Tom, I don't doubt that you performed the cable TI measurement correctly but I have seen folks take data that is actually the TI of the test fixture and not the cables under test. What TI impedance d

- I can put a number on that using two-year old indoor-use ComScope "Brite wire" ( I think that is what it said), which is a non-flooded dual shield (foil and braid). 160 -80 dB 80 -88 dB 40 -99 dB I

- I can't actually measure it Dave. I have a spare port on my test fixture that is identical to the sample port. When I swap my voltmeter over to that port and run 1 amp of RF current on the tested ca
